Saskatchewan’s economy to lead once again

Feb 18, 2011 | 3:48 PM

Saskatchewan’s economy is receiving another flattering review.

The Conference Board of Canada is predicting the province will lead the nation in economic growth on the back of strong commodity prices, a rebound in agriculture and a growing population.

The board is forecasting a gross domestic product growth of 3.9 per cent this year and 4.5 per cent in 2012.

The forecast comes from the organization's winter Provincial Outlook Executive Summary released Friday.
